I loved my Skechers until I realized they were causing serious damage to my feet. I started researching the shoes and low and behold, I found out that Skechers is not recommended by Podiatrists due to the root cause of foot problems. I could barely stand up due to excruciating foot pain, so I tried Adidas, which is recommended by Podiatrists. Sure enough, the pain went away after wearing my new shoes for a short period of time. My advice, if you have Skechers, don't donate them to charity, throw them in the garbage to avoid giving someone else foot problems.
